IMHY AMERICANS LOST MM & Vandsrbilt and Elbert f,&W ISot In List ct Survivors. FIBUI'S BODY RECOVERED Fd Torpedoes Fired by German Submarine at Liner. Queenstown, May 10. With all survivors now almost certainly accounted for, It Is possible to make up the figures of the toll of death exacted by the German submarine which sent the giant Cunarder Lusitanla to the bot torn of the sea. The latest revised figures as made public by the Cunard officers are as follows: Total number of dead, 1,149; total American citizens dead, 115; bodies recovered, 144; bodies Identified, 87; total number saved, 767; total passengers Baved, 465; total crew saved, 302. Work of compiling a list of survivors necessarily is proceeding slowly because of the confusion. Steamship and government officials and the CARRIED WAR SUPPLIES? Cleveland. Great Britain carried American passengers on the Lusitanla as shield for an Immense cargo of British munitions of war. That charge was made here by Dr. Dernberg, unofficial spokesman for the kaiser in the United States. Dr. Dernberg made a vigorous uenial that Germany is to blame for the loss of life in the sinking of the great liner. He branded the Lusitanla as a Britishman-of-war, and charged England advanced money at low interest to build her, with the aim In view of commandeering her In time of war. American consul's offices are swamp. ed. Apparently, however, few first class passengers are among those saved. As an example of the confusion which has swept, not only the sur vivors, but also the officials, off their feet, the body of Charles Frohman, roted New York and London the atrical magnate, lay uncovered for hours among more than 100 others before identification was made by an acquaintance. Most of the others are unidentified. The heavy loss of life among the first cabin passengers is believed to have been due to the calmness and self-possession they displayed In face of danger. Most of tiiem were at luncheon when the steamer received I her death blow and declined to join the rush for the boats and lifeboats They believed the Cunarder would remain afloat until assistance could arrive.A considerable proportion of those at Queenstown are members of the crew, including Captain Turner, with the first and second officers, all the other officers are believed to have perished.Time Honored Rule Observed. There is no evidence, however, that the time-honored rule of the sea, "women and children first,". was violated. At least one of the survivors, a Toronto newspaper man, gives evidence that there was no panic among the crew and that the sailors acted promptly In getting the passengefj Into the ship's boats. Apparently every precaution had been taken against a surprise attack by a submarine. Lookouts were on the alert constantly as the giant steamship speeded toward the Irish coast. Difficulty was experienced in launching the boats because of the heavy list of the Lusitania almost Immediately after she was torpedoed. Several of the frail craft evidently capsized as they were launched, or soon afterwards. Many of the passengers owe their rescue to life belts, which kept them afloat until they were picked up by boats. Among this number was Lady Mackworth, daughter of David A. Thomas, the Welsh "coal king," and Julian De Ayala, Cuban consul general at Liverpool. Vanderbilt's Body Not Located. Queenstown, May 13. Twenty-one additional bodies were brought here nd six others are reported at Sknir, on Cape Clear. The body of Alfred G. Vanderbllt is not among those found, so far as can be learned. While ALFRED G. VANDER2ILT American Multimillionaire ( Among Victims of Lirtitani. rumors are persistent that it was washed ashore, representatives of his family have been unable to locate ;t, although they have an army of men and a fleet of boats engaged in the search. BLAMES THE KAISER Coroner's Jury Return Verdict In Case of Lusitania. Kinsale, Ireland, May 10. The cor- onors Jury which has been investigating the deaths attendant upon the loss of the Lusitania returned the following verdict: "The jury find that this appalling crime was contrary to international law and the conventions of all civilized nations, and we therefore charg the officers of the submarine, and the German emperor and the government of Germany, under whose orders they acted, with the crime of wilful and wholesale murder." Vanderbilt's Cast Words. London, May 13. "There Is one Incident that the world will remember in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania," said the bishop of London, while presiding at a meeting of the Waifs and Strays society. "When Alfred G. Vanderbllt wa,s face to face with death he said to bis valet, 'Come and let us save the kiddies.' Those words will run around the world In a way no millionaire's millious could ever do." MANY OHIOANS ARE REPORTED MISSING Cleveland. Latest reports indicated that only two of the fourteen Ohioans who sailed on the Lusitania were rescued. The names of Mrs. Jessie Taft Smith of Braceville, O., and It. C. Wright, believed to be the former Cuyahoga county auditor, appear on the list of survivors. No word has yet been received as to the fate of the following six passengers whose passage was booked from Cleveland: Mrs. Eunise KInch and son William, twenty-two; Christopher Garry, Mrs, William Stevenson and her daughter Elizabeth, and Mrk Elizabeth Ilorton.

London, May 12. Since tne sinking of the Lusitania there have been riots in Liverpool, Manchester, Saltoid and Birkenhead. In Liverpool the Cermans have been interned. SAW TORPEDO STRIKE LIHEB Lusitanla Survivors Tell of Horrible Scenes Witnesscl Queenstown, Ireland. Pathetic scenes, which harrowed the nerve3 even of the residents of Queenstown, a coasting town long hardened to the scenes of shipwreck, accompanied tho arrival of the Lusitanla's survivors to this part. The people of the town did every thing they could for the unfortunates. Homes wore thrown open to them, dry clothing, food and warm drinks were administered. But most of t'aose who were able to walk could not rest. They wandered from place to place, seeking relatives. Mothers sought lusbands and babies, and weeping, bedraggled women were , tenderly cared for by total strangers, who found a wonderful bond of sympathy in. their trouble. The injuries of many are so sever0 that it Is feared they can not survive. Twenty-two have already died In the hospital. The first detailed story of the trag edy to reach Queenstown was brought by the survivors who were landed dur. ing the night. There were 150 of them, and the chief Bteward, in charge, said: "The passengers were at lunch when the liner was torpedoed. From the besf that I could find out, Tour torpedoes were launched and two struck and were exploded. One of these demolished the engine room. The vessel had already begun to list when captain Turner ordered the boats manned and out. The list was so bad that only about ten boats wer gotten safely into the water. Roughly speaking, they carried about 500. "The boats tried to keep together as they proceeded toward land. Many of those that we had on board were suffering from shock and most of our women had to be sent to hospitals. We did not see the submarine after the vessel was struck." One of the most connected and thrilling stories of the tragedy -was related by young Mycr Stratford of Ontario, who was en route to join the British navy as a cadet. "I had Just gone to the upper deck with friends for a game of quoits," he said, "when one of them looked over the side. He cried as he saw a streak: "There's a torpedo coming right at us." We watched until it Btruck. then we rushed to the boat deck as a huge quantity of splinters and debris and masses of water fell around us. The second torpedo struck the liner just four minutes later and simply shattered the entire hull. The first torpedo was enough to have sunk the Lusitania, but the second completed the task. "Many of the women were panic-stricken. I met one almost frenzied with fear and tried to calm her. I helped her into a boat. I then saw another boat that was nearly swamped. I got on board. Others followed me. We baled for all we were worth. A crowd of men clambered in, nearly swamping it again. Nobody had a knife, but I found a hatchet and cut the boat clear. "We were about 200 yards away when the Lusitania sunk. The shrieks of the people as they were drawn down by the -suction was appalling. We had to pull as hard as we could to get away and not be drawn under. We saved as many as we could, our toat being crowded to capacity. The ship simply sank like a stone at th finish, her entire bottom being literal ly torn out by the various explosions. "The scene at the end was terrifying. Although many of the passengers had adjusted their life belts, they were drawn down like stones by the terrible suction of so large a steamer. Mothers with their babies still clasped in their arms in death were found by the fishing fleet which finally rescued us. They had been unable to get on board the boats in time and they drowned when drawn under the stir face by the underdrag of the vessel." im J it Iw i .... . 3HlMt.

Gilead, Saturday, resulted in the for mation of plans for a permanent organ izition of Morrow county school boarc members, and renewed enthusiasm and co-operation of all board ; for the bet terment of the schools of the county. While the Meeting was hld in tht midst of the busy season tor the farmer nearly all the boards were representee with from one to three mm3rs,snow-ing that the board members have th schools heart and stand ready to adopt any new plans or correct conditions prevailing. The speakers for the daj gave many helpful suggestions, and a general discussion took place on tht topics outlined. The morning session was held ir the Court House. County Supt.Charles Davis opened the meeting outlining the purpose of the session and touched upon problems of most vital interest tithe welfare of the schools. County Uni formityof Text Books and enumeration were discussed in general. Piof J H. Snyder, a former superintendent of Mt. Gilead schools took up the topic "Three Essentials of a Good Teacher," and emphasized personality, character, and scholorship Hon. H. G. Williams also took part in this discussion endorsing the former remarks and adding many other thoughts along the line of personality of a teacher. The afternoon session was transferred to the Methodist Church. Hon. A. P. Sandies, president of the Ohio Agri cultural commission, was the first speaker of the afternoon. In part h said, "The Bojs of Ohio who have showed such a keen interest in the Corn Contests have m l ie a higher aver age production of corn per v.c.re in theii few years of competition than the men of Ohio have made during all the year? of the past. The problem confronting farmers is a greater production per acre. Conditions of crop habitaticn, soil and fertilization must be made a study by the farmer in order to bring out of the soil the highest possible pro duction." He also stated that the real estate values of farm binds will never decrease but there will be a gradual in crease in ;the value cf farm ls-r.ds. Tc emphasize the fact that teacher were underpaid he mentioned the cse of a certain organizataion which employed a man to take cure of a thoroughbred horse used for breeding purposes, paying him $70 a month, w uia.iy teach era in the country -to s w-re paid only 45 a month to take care of 20 or 30 children. Hon. H. G. Williams, head of the State Normal department gave a splen did address on Education, emphasizing that education was not an expense but an investment; that real expense came through ignorance. The money put in schools is the highest faying investment. Speaking of the Ohio Survey of Rural schools of which he was a member, he said that some of the conditions revealed in the rural schools were appalling. The board members were extremely fortunate in hearing Mr. Williams, and many of the members expressed appreciation of his efforts to reveal to them some of the problems facing the schools of Ohio at present. Hon. C. W. McFarland, our present representative in the legislature, discussed the pending school legislation, expressed his opinion that little change would be made in the present laws, and if any changes were mailt! they would not be radical. Among the other topics discussed were Centralization, Agriculture in Schools, County Unformity of Text Books. The general opinion prevailed that the standard of promotion should be raised. After the regular program a temporary organization of school board members was formed. Mr. Faust of Westfield township, was chosen temporary president, and C. A. Gilmanof Edison, secretary. The committee on constitution, By-laws and I'rogram ap- l pointed are Supt. Chas. Davis, Henry Baker of Congress township and Chas. Lee of Johnsville. This committee together with the chairman and secretary will formulate plans for a per-menant organization and another meet-ingsubject to the call of the committee will be held in the future to ef.ee t an oaganization.

The British field marshal says nothing of the part British troops are taking in the offensive in the direction of l.iile.

Between these two districts the Germans are on the oftenstve, pressing agairst the British army with great force.

With all survivors now almost certainly accounted for, It Is possible to make up the figures of the toll of death exacted by the German submarine which sent the giant Cunarder Lusitanla to the bot torn of the sea. The latest revised figures as made public by the Cunard officers are as follows: Total number of dead, 1,149; total American citizens dead, 115; bodies recovered, 144; bodies Identified, 87; total number saved, 767; total passengers Baved, 465; total crew saved, 302. Work of compiling a list of survivors necessarily is proceeding slowly because of the confusion. Steamship and government officials and the CARRIED WAR SUPPLIES? Cleveland. Great Britain carried American passengers on the Lusitanla as shield for an Immense cargo of British munitions of war. That charge was made here by Dr. Dernberg, unofficial spokesman for the kaiser in the United States. Dr. Dernberg made a vigorous uenial that Germany is to blame for the loss of life in the sinking of the great liner. He branded the Lusitanla as a Britishman-of-war, and charged England advanced money at low interest to build her, with the aim In view of commandeering her In time of war. American consul's offices are swamp. ed. Apparently, however, few first class passengers are among those saved. As an example of the confusion which has swept, not only the sur vivors, but also the officials, off their feet, the body of Charles Frohman, roted New York and London the atrical magnate, lay uncovered for hours among more than 100 others before identification was made by an acquaintance. Most of the others are unidentified. The heavy loss of life among the first cabin passengers is believed to have been due to the calmness and self-possession they displayed In face of danger. Most of tiiem were at luncheon when the steamer received I her death blow and declined to join the rush for the boats and lifeboats They believed the Cunarder would remain afloat until assistance could arrive.A considerable proportion of those at Queenstown are members of the crew, including Captain Turner, with the first and second officers, all the other officers are believed to have perished.Time Honored Rule Observed. There is no evidence, however, that the time-honored rule of the sea, "women and children first,". was violated. At least one of the survivors, a Toronto newspaper man, gives evidence that there was no panic among the crew and that the sailors acted promptly In getting the passengefj Into the ship's boats. Apparently every precaution had been taken against a surprise attack by a submarine. Lookouts were on the alert constantly as the giant steamship speeded toward the Irish coast. Difficulty was experienced in launching the boats because of the heavy list of the Lusitania almost Immediately after she was torpedoed. Several of the frail craft evidently capsized as they were launched, or soon afterwards. Many of the passengers owe their rescue to life belts, which kept them afloat until they were picked up by boats. Among this number was Lady Mackworth, daughter of David A. Thomas, the Welsh "coal king," and Julian De Ayala, Cuban consul general at Liverpool. Vanderbilt's Body Not Located. Queenstown, May 13. Twenty-one additional bodies were brought here nd six others are reported at Sknir, on Cape Clear. The body of Alfred G. Vanderbllt is not among those found, so far as can be learned. While ALFRED G.

BLAMES THE KAISER Coroner's Jury Return Verdict In Case of Lusitania. Kinsale, Ireland, May 10. The cor- onors Jury which has been investigating the deaths attendant upon the loss of the Lusitania returned the following verdict: "The jury find that this appalling crime was contrary to international law and the conventions of all civilized nations, and we therefore charg the officers of the submarine, and the German emperor and the government of Germany, under whose orders they acted, with the crime of wilful and wholesale murder." Vanderbilt's Cast Words. London, May 13. "There Is one Incident that the world will remember in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania," said the bishop of London, while presiding at a meeting of the Waifs and Strays society. "When Alfred G. Vanderbllt wa,s face to face with death he said to bis valet, 'Come and let us save the kiddies.' Those words will run around the world In a way no millionaire's millious could ever do." MANY OHIOANS ARE REPORTED MISSING Cleveland. Latest reports indicated that only two of the fourteen Ohioans who sailed on the Lusitania were rescued. The names of Mrs. Jessie Taft Smith of Braceville, O., and It. C.

No word has yet been received as to the fate of the following six passengers whose passage was booked from Cleveland: Mrs. Eunise KInch and son William, twenty-two; Christopher Garry, Mrs, William Stevenson and her daughter Elizabeth, and Mrk Elizabeth Ilorton.

London, May 12. Since tne sinking of the Lusitania there have been riots in Liverpool, Manchester, Saltoid and Birkenhead. In Liverpool the Cermans have been interned. SAW TORPEDO STRIKE LIHEB Lusitanla Survivors Tell of Horrible Scenes Witnesscl Queenstown, Ireland. Pathetic scenes, which harrowed the nerve3 even of the residents of Queenstown, a coasting town long hardened to the scenes of shipwreck, accompanied tho arrival of the Lusitanla's survivors to this part. The people of the town did every thing they could for the unfortunates. Homes wore thrown open to them, dry clothing, food and warm drinks were administered. But most of t'aose who were able to walk could not rest. They wandered from place to place, seeking relatives. Mothers sought lusbands and babies, and weeping, bedraggled women were , tenderly cared for by total strangers, who found a wonderful bond of sympathy in. their trouble. The injuries of many are so sever0 that it Is feared they can not survive. Twenty-two have already died In the hospital. The first detailed story of the trag edy to reach Queenstown was brought by the survivors who were landed dur. ing the night. There were 150 of them, and the chief Bteward, in charge, said: "The passengers were at lunch when the liner was torpedoed. From the besf that I could find out, Tour torpedoes were launched and two struck and were exploded. One of these demolished the engine room. The vessel had already begun to list when captain Turner ordered the boats manned and out. The list was so bad that only about ten boats wer gotten safely into the water. Roughly speaking, they carried about 500. "The boats tried to keep together as they proceeded toward land. Many of those that we had on board were suffering from shock and most of our women had to be sent to hospitals. We did not see the submarine after the vessel was struck." One of the most connected and thrilling stories of the tragedy -was related by young Mycr Stratford of Ontario, who was en route to join the British navy as a cadet. "I had Just gone to the upper deck with friends for a game of quoits," he said, "when one of them looked over the side. He cried as he saw a streak: "There's a torpedo coming right at us." We watched until it Btruck. then we rushed to the boat deck as a huge quantity of splinters and debris and masses of water fell around us. The second torpedo struck the liner just four minutes later and simply shattered the entire hull. The first torpedo was enough to have sunk the Lusitania, but the second completed the task. "Many of the women were panic-stricken. I met one almost frenzied with fear and tried to calm her. I helped her into a boat. I then saw another boat that was nearly swamped. I got on board. Others followed me. We baled for all we were worth. A crowd of men clambered in, nearly swamping it again. Nobody had a knife, but I found a hatchet and cut the boat clear. "We were about 200 yards away when the Lusitania sunk. The shrieks of the people as they were drawn down by the -suction was appalling. We had to pull as hard as we could to get away and not be drawn under. We saved as many as we could, our toat being crowded to capacity. The ship simply sank like a stone at th finish, her entire bottom being literal ly torn out by the various explosions. "The scene at the end was terrifying. Although many of the passengers had adjusted their life belts, they were drawn down like stones by the terrible suction of so large a steamer. Mothers with their babies still clasped in their arms in death were found by the fishing fleet which finally rescued us. They had been unable to get on board the boats in time and they drowned when drawn under the stir face by the underdrag of the vessel." im J it Iw i .... . 3HlMt.

Gilead, Saturday, resulted in the for mation of plans for a permanent organ izition of Morrow county school boarc members, and renewed enthusiasm and co-operation of all board ; for the bet terment of the schools of the county. While the Meeting was hld in tht midst of the busy season tor the farmer nearly all the boards were representee with from one to three mm3rs,snow-ing that the board members have th schools heart and stand ready to adopt any new plans or correct conditions prevailing. The speakers for the daj gave many helpful suggestions, and a general discussion took place on tht topics outlined. The morning session was held ir the Court House. County Supt.Charles Davis opened the meeting outlining the purpose of the session and touched upon problems of most vital interest tithe welfare of the schools. County Uni formityof Text Books and enumeration were discussed in general. Piof J H. Snyder, a former superintendent of Mt. Gilead schools took up the topic "Three Essentials of a Good Teacher," and emphasized personality, character, and scholorship Hon. H. G. Williams also took part in this discussion endorsing the former remarks and adding many other thoughts along the line of personality of a teacher. The afternoon session was transferred to the Methodist Church. Hon. A. P. Sandies, president of the Ohio Agri cultural commission, was the first speaker of the afternoon. In part h said, "The Bojs of Ohio who have showed such a keen interest in the Corn Contests have m l ie a higher aver age production of corn per v.c.re in theii few years of competition than the men of Ohio have made during all the year? of the past. The problem confronting farmers is a greater production per acre. Conditions of crop habitaticn, soil and fertilization must be made a study by the farmer in order to bring out of the soil the highest possible pro duction." He also stated that the real estate values of farm binds will never decrease but there will be a gradual in crease in ;the value cf farm ls-r.ds. Tc emphasize the fact that teacher were underpaid he mentioned the cse of a certain organizataion which employed a man to take cure of a thoroughbred horse used for breeding purposes, paying him $70 a month, w uia.iy teach era in the country -to s w-re paid only 45 a month to take care of 20 or 30 children. Hon. H. G. Williams, head of the State Normal department gave a splen did address on Education, emphasizing that education was not an expense but an investment; that real expense came through ignorance. The money put in schools is the highest faying investment. Speaking of the Ohio Survey of Rural schools of which he was a member, he said that some of the conditions revealed in the rural schools were appalling. The board members were extremely fortunate in hearing Mr. Williams, and many of the members expressed appreciation of his efforts to reveal to them some of the problems facing the schools of Ohio at present. Hon. C. W. McFarland, our present representative in the legislature, discussed the pending school legislation, expressed his opinion that little change would be made in the present laws, and if any changes were mailt! they would not be radical. Among the other topics discussed were Centralization, Agriculture in Schools, County Unformity of Text Books. The general opinion prevailed that the standard of promotion should be raised. After the regular program a temporary organization of school board members was formed. Mr. Faust of Westfield township, was chosen temporary president, and C. A. Gilmanof Edison, secretary. The committee on constitution, By-laws and I'rogram ap- l pointed are Supt. Chas. Davis, Henry Baker of Congress township and Chas. Lee of Johnsville. This committee together with the chairman and secretary will formulate plans for a per-menant organization and another meet-ingsubject to the call of the committee will be held in the future to ef.ee t an oaganization.

German reinforce- menta rushed from Lens and Douai thns far apparently "nave failed to check the dash of troops which, sweeping north from Arras, have captured important Gorman positions. The German war office states that progress has been made against the British lines east of Vpres, but Cen tral French's message asserts that all German efforts to break through hare failed. The British field marshal says nothing of the part British troops are taking in the offensive in the direction of l.iile. The Belgians, in the little section of tiieir country which they still hold, are pushing forward, apparently with some success. Near the border the Fn-ni-h are attacking furiously, in an attempt to pierce the German line. Between these two districts the Germans are on the oftenstve, pressing agairst the British army with great force. Although local successes have been won on both sides, the main Issue, which is awaited with unconcealed concern, probably will not be decided for some time. The Russians admit a further retreat in Galicia. although denying Austrian and German reports of a complete rout. Reports from all sources indicate that the ioss of life in the figni on Gallipoli peninsula has been sever. British accounts indicate that the al-. lies have p;iid a heavy nrtee for establishing positions on the land.

Birkenhead, Glasgow and a few other places. .Many windows were smashed and some shops were pillaged The proprietor's of the shops generally were driven away by angry crowds. None of the persons attacked is reported to have been seriously injured, but a considerable number were more or less badly beaten and their clothes were torn. One oi two shops have been set on fire by the rioters. Granted a Patent A patent has been granted to Dr. J. M. Bell, Dentist of Mt. Gilead upon a Self Serving Table. He expects to have a modei made soon and have it on display in some good place in our city, possibly the furniture store. Dr. Bell has several patents but this one seems to be the best yet as it does away with servants and table clcths, as the top will be polished and the dishes kept warm by electric heating pads where electricry is convenient.
